Do you think its wrong to name your pet after a bad person?

[CatLuvrs]

I don't think it is bad. Some people may have feelings come about when they hear it but there are other people who aren't bad that have that name also. You do what you like. I would name him that if I liked it and it fit him.

I don't believe its wrong at all.
Every bad person most likely shares their name with someone else somewhere in the world, so its not like you're naming it after him.

i don't really think it's bad. i've even used the name Hitler for a cat that had a little "Hitler moustache"

I would probably say it's wrong. If someone named their hamster, for example, Osama bin Laden, then I don't think it would say much good for the person. There's plenty of names out there that won't offend anyone else.

It depends on many things, in my mind.

I don't have a problem with a cat named Hitler. I would have second thoughts of a pit bull by the same name. A chihuahua named Killer is cute - a rottweiler by the same name is not. You know what I mean?

My frien's mother, who was a Czechoslovakian immigrant, named the kids' hamsters Stalin and Kruschev - can you tell she didn't like them? It was mutual - they never bit Cheryl, but the hammies bit her mom every time.

I have mixed feelings like Jenluckenbach...
a name is just that.. a name... nothing evil about it.

however,, for someone to name something after them and think of 'them' as they are name picking.. is just..... wrong in my opinion...
but to name something because someone likes the sound of the name is fine by me.(hopefuly that made sense) LOL
